tan( angle ) = opposite / adjacent
tan( 30° ) = 9√3 / PQ
PQ tan( 30° ) = 9√3
PQ = 9√3 / tan( 30° )
PQ = 27
....Or.....you can notice that this is a 30-60-90 triangle. And remember in every 30-60-90 triangle,
side opposite the 60° angle = √3 * ( side opposite the 30° angle )
PQ = √3 * 9√3
PQ = 3 * 9
PQ = 27
